I discussed this we Ales at the last freedog meeting. Currently you can not
have different slots perform different functions. The workaround is to
have a separate symbol for power.

For example if you have a logic gate (7400, 14pin DIP ) you would have
a function symbol with four slots, one for each gate. You would then
create a power pin symbol with
a pin 14 and a pin 7. After placing the gates you place the power pin symbol
and change the refdes so that the gates and power symbol match.

You could do a similar thing for op-amps.
